as follows: ~~
a. LTnd.erground utility and earthwork construction ~•rill he
prohibited during periods ,of ex±ended. inclement weathAr
in order to minimize si7.tation or_iginatinq from raga
earthwork. Prior to the close of the construction
season, all earthwork areas will be shared to promote or
encourage sheet flow conditions .and all disturbed areas
will be seeded.
b. Surface runoff flowing to the streets will be conveyed in
roadside paved gutters to drop inlets or down-drains at
low points. Storm flows will be conveyed under streets
in culverts. Storm flows downstream of streets and across
lots twill be conveyed where possible in existing natural
drainage swales. This decision will be based upon an
evaluation of the ability of the native soil to sunoort
storm water flows without significant erosion. Large rock
uncovered during earthwork operations- may be randomly placed
in stream beds to reduce hydraulic flow energies. [gtzerever
it appears that the soils would be subject to excessive
erosion, such concentrated flows will be carried in buried
pipe or lined channels, Use Gri11 be madQ of enerav dis-
sipaters wherever warranted in order to reduce excessive

d. Construction of driveways and dwelling unit Wads will not be
commenced until needed in connection with construction of
the dwelling unit itself .
e. Construction roads, side and rear lot easements and other
areas where natural vegetation has been removed or destroyed
during the course of construction will be seeded in a manner
similar. to the cut and fill slopes.
f. Storm runoff will be concentrated as little as possible by
making maximum use of existing natural drainage swales and
channels.
g. Silt traps will be constructed if and where feasible.
h. A minimum amount of clearing will he performed that is con-
sistent with County and other governmental regulations.
i. A11 excavated material that is permanently placed whether
in engineered fills or disposal sites, etc., shall be
compacted and shaped to minimize erosion and siltation.
j. Construction materials,including spoils, shall not be stock-
